What has TRC been up to lately?

On October 7th, TRC organized a marathon relay along the Streets Alive route (we were #62 on the map).

We had a lot of fun with this. Many people stopped by and inquired about run commuting, or told us about their own run commutes. The sports editor of Urban China magazine (who wrote about us in one of their issues) even stopped by! She’s now pursuing a post-grad degree at Georgia Tech.

BeltLine Multi-modal Race

October 12th

As part of the media coverage of the opening of the Atlanta BeltLine’s new Eastside Trail, someone thought it would be a good idea to hold a race, pitting a car against a bike and a runner from Irwin Street to Piedmont Park. TRC’s Josh ran against Atlanta Fox 5 reporter, Justin Gray, who biked the 2.25-mile distance (on a single-speed), and the BeltLine’s Director of Communication, Ethan Davidson, who drove during late afternoon traffic.
